Spider-Man: Homecoming co-writer Jonathan Goldstein revealed that Peter Parker's AI Karen wasn't originally part of the plan.

"It ultimately worked but we were skeptical about the Spider suit talking," Goldstein explained during a Homecoming watch party hosted by ComicBook.com. "Felt it brought us too close to Iron Man and Jarvis."

While Goldstein showed no signs of regretting the AI's inclusion, it was ultimately scrapped as a feature after Homecoming. Peter Parker in the comics is known for his inner monologue, so Karen allowed the character to do so onscreen in a more natural way. However, it was also a sign of Tony Stark's overbearing involvement in Peter's acts as a young Spider-Man. Despite still using some of the AI features like "Instant Kill Mode" in Avengers: Endgame, Karen was never mentioned again, and the suit's destruction in Spider-Man: Far From Home removed the AI component altogether.

In addition to the talking suit uncertainty, the writer also revealed that the suit was originally less convenient to put on. He explained that an early version of that alley scene in Spider-Man: Homecoming had Peter take a full five minutes to put on the suit for comedic effect. In the final version of the film, Peter was able to put on a baggy version of the suit that fitted itself to his body, making for a leaner fit. Ironically, that was the antithesis of what it was like for Tom Holland to wear the suit, which required a team of people to get in and out of.

Trailers for the upcoming Spider-Man: No Way Home show that Peter's upgraded black and red suit will be returning. While the upgraded suit never used the Karen AI, the Iron Spider suit has also been shown in trailers, and it has made use of some of the AI functions before. Clips have shown some upgrades of a more arcane kind for Spidey's suit this time around. The exact nature of his new suit is unknown, but some of Doctor Strange's magical glyphs have been seen affecting them in some way.

Spider-Man: No Way Home comes out in theaters on Dec. 17.
